"All that matters to me is you", the intimate letters to Trump from assistant Natalie Harp.

Natalie Harp, 35-year-old assistant to President Donald Trump, has been revealed through intimate letters she wrote to him in early 2023. These personal communications, recently shared by The Daily Beast, include lines such as “For me, you count above everything else,” and expressions of admiration bordering on obsession. The letters were composed during or shortly after Trump’s trips to his Scottish golf courses in Aberdeen and Turnberry, as well as to Doonbeg in Ireland. In one passage, Harp admits feeling jealousy toward colleagues who only interact with Trump, expressing a desire to take on such roles. She also laments the lack of casual conversation with the president, saying they once spoke “about everything and nothing.” Harp, originally from California, is regarded as one of the closest confidantes of Trump, often more so than First Lady Melania. Some internal reports suggest her growing influence within the administration led to tensions with other members of the White House team. Notably, the resignation of press secretary Karoline Leavitt was linked to these conflicts, with Harp emerging as the new key figure in Trump’s inner circle. According to a relative of Harp, her loyalty stems from a past experience where Trump personally authorized experimental treatment for her bone cancer, which saved her life, as reported by Repubblica. Known informally as the “human printer,” Harp is responsible for transcribing messages Trump sends via his social media platform, Truth. In some cases, she is believed to draft the content herself. Despite this role, the letters reveal moments of relief, particularly during the Scottish trip, where she managed to disconnect from work and enjoy long walks. She thanks Trump for encouraging her to take breaks, indicating a level of trust and familiarity beyond typical professional boundaries. In response to public scrutiny, White House spokesperson Davis Ingle defended Harp, calling her “one of the most loyal assistants” in Trump’s team. He attributed the negative media attention to a general bias against the Trump administration, suggesting that the criticism reflects broader distrust in mainstream media. This stance underscores the ongoing divide between the administration and the press, highlighting how internal dynamics can shape public perception. The controversy resurfaced following remarks by Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff, who suggested that Trump prioritizes travel with Harp over political engagement. Trump responded sharply, labeling Ossoff as dangerous. According to journalist Michael Wolff, internal campaign sources were concerned about the close relationship between Trump and Harp, warning that such a dynamic should not exist in a professional setting. However, in private conversations with friends, Trump has praised Harp, comparing her affection to that of his wife and children. Harp's role extends beyond transcription; she influences what information reaches the public. This power has reportedly caused friction within the White House, especially since she operates without proper security clearances. While Melania Trump has not publicly commented on Harp’s position, the extent of her influence suggests that the First Lady may have limited say in matters involving the president’s direct associates. As the situation continues to evolve, the balance of power within the administration remains a subject of speculation and concern.
